wonderful message joe.. you are my champion! merle
Suresh, I'd say that the more important thing is that you are able to practice, yourself. This way, you will see the benefits of practice, and in fact discover, for yourself, in your own life AS IT IS NOW, if there are any benefits. If you begin to see benefits for yourself, then you may try to dedicate a time in the day when you can even more securely practice. The practice will restore you and relax you, and you will find yourself becoming more "resilient": more tough and more Kind. When you begin to discover benefits, you may be sure that OTHERS will also receive benefits, through your own warmth and compassionate, kind attention. Please trust me about this! You might therefore view Zen practice as a way to give fuller and further attention to your children, and you might THANK them for this, for their influence. By their perhaps "pushing" you toward a practice to help yourself to settle and to restore yourself, you will find that you are also helping the children, and helping every other person in your life. Even US!, on the other end of this computer connection. Then, some time during your practice, please tell us here how Buddha Nature works, in your own life, that is.
